The unnad wyvern awoke a minute later and imdiately roared sensing the various beings around it.
After Jake dismissed the system panel, he couldn't help but smirk. He had thought that it would take serious sacrifices to ta this monster.
However, he realized that all three ntal attributes, Will, Intelligence, and Charisma of this wyvern were lower than his.
'And that ans I can use [Malefic Enchantnt] on it,' he thought and walked forward.
Rwarrrghh!
"You dare chain ?!"
The wyvern's roar was less impressive than a dragon's but it still made a shock wave. The monster was using [Sonic Roar].
However, because of the creature's injury, it couldn't use the skill's full power. Jake was unfazed.
Irene stepped to the side as he ca before the chained monster which was struggling.
He touched its head. The wyvern, which was preparing a Frost Breath, suddenly stopped when Jake used [Malefic Enchantnt] on it.
At first, this unnad creature was confused as to why it was attacking the demon. Then when Jake sent fake mories into its mind, the wyvern began believing that this demon had always taken care of it since it was an egg.
"Remove the chains," Jake told Irene.
However, she hesitated. A 5th Circle monster, even in an injured state, was too dangerous. She couldn't just let it be free, could she?
"Irene." Jake looked at her. "I said remove them."
"Yes, master," the elf witch replied.
She began chanting and sent mana to the magical chains. They had pierced through the wyvern's already damaged wings, and were coiled around its two legs as well as its arms.
When Irene chanted, these black tallic chains moved. The wyvern grunted in pain as it was finally unchained.
"How did this happen to you, Droge?" Jake asked as if he knew this monster for a long ti.
There was a rare expression of concern on his face which confused everyone here. They didn't know that he had used Malefic Enchantnt.
"Master?" Lena blinked and flew behind him. She was kind of unhappy that he didn't look at her with this soft expression.
"I…" The wyvern spoke. It was capable of speaking human languages.
"Who am I?"
"You are Droge, my companion. I have co to save you." Jake hovered over the creature.
Summoning his Black Reaper, he used [Blood Regeneration] on it. At the sa ti, he called the priestesses on the lower floor.
This confused even Minerva who was expecting Jake to kill the monster and let her make an undead out of it. She would definitely be able to raise an excellent 4th Circle Undead with its bones and flesh.
Jake had considered that option. However, he didn't want the monster to lose its rank and powers.
Making it an undead was the sure way to fully control it, but that would only weaken it. Also, Jake wanted to control it himself, why would he let Minerva have it?
Due to his 4th Circle rank, he was unable to degenerate the wyvern which was at the 5th Circle. He could injure it badly to the point it barely lived, but Jake didn't have much confidence in his skill working.
The 5th Circle was imnsely higher than the 4th. The case here wasn't the sa as with his Dark Knight.
What he could do was use his superior ntal attributes to control it indirectly. There was a risk, of course. But this was the most feasible way to use and retain its full power.
Jake used all three chances of his Blood Regeneration on this wyvern, but it was still not enough to heal it. With his ntal suggestions and fake mories sent to its mind, the wyvern began accepting Jake as his companion.
The imdiate kindness Jake showed also worked in his favor.
He had taken the safe path here, instead of making it believe he was its master. That could have backfired as this monster was proud of its strength.
Even then, the wyvern's lower ntal attributes made it too easy for Jake to fool it. It was actually cleverer than a normal human. But in front of Jake whose intelligence was over 400, the monster was tricked easily.
"I am Jake, you may call that," he said and continued, "This dungeon is your ho from now on. You can stay in any floor but not the last one."
"Okay." The wyvern flapped its wings and flew higher. Jake had erased and replaced most of its mories. That took him so ti but it was worth the effort.
"How did you…" Minerva, Lena, and Irene were speechless.
Even the usually apathetic Ash was gaping. That creature… how was it so ta?
"It really feels dangerous when a 5th Circle monster is flying around," Jake muttered, looking at the silver wyvern circling above him.
At this mont, the pregnant twin priestesses and Perry ca. Jake blew a whistle and the wyvern descended. They all backed away in terror, but when their master assured them that it wouldn't attack, they looked incredulously at him.
His words soon proved to be true, and the priestesses couldn't help but blink rapidly.
"Heal it." Jake said. They were better at this job than him or anyone else here.
…
So ti later, Droge, the wyvern which Jake had nad on spot, was fully healed. Numa, Mary, and Perry were tired. It wasn't easy to heal the injuries of a 5th Circle monster.
Jake had stayed with them all this while, as they were afraid of a sudden attack. He also wanted to make sure everything went smoothly.
"Go rest now," he said. The pregnant twins shouldn't be worked too much.
"Is it the sa ability you had when you attacked my mind?" Minerva was curious. She had a good guess, but she was a bit off the mark.
He didn't admit nor refuse it, letting her think whatever she wanted. He would rather not say what abilities he had.

Jake knew that wyverns had huge appetites. This one, especially after being starved for so long, wanted to eat sothing imdiately. Unlike other monsters, it couldn't live on mana alone.
"Go outside and find so monsters. Don't eat those here," Jake said from below.
"Why?"
Lena covered her ears, hearing it. This wyvern's normal speech sounded like roars to her.
Jake patted her and replied to the flying monster.
"The ones here aren't tasty, Droge. You know, this dungeon is a special area. It makes the creatures here unedible for you. Ever heard of ecosystems?
Of course, Jake was spouting bullshit here. A person who doesn't have much knowledge in dungeons would be fooled by it. And this dumb monster believed him in a heartbeat.
As it flew to the higher floors, Jake told it co back quickly and not attack humans.
Afterwards, he went to the 66th floor with Minerva and Lena. Irene had already went to prepare the map of Grimbow kingdom.
In the capital, the discussion of nobles and royals was ongoing. Here, a different discussion was going to happen, one about conquering the Karsuda Province.
